Adele admits she isn't allowed to send her own tweets because of a history of 'drunk tweeting'

Adele returned in glory Monday when it was
announced that she'd
sold 1 million downloads of her song "Hello" in just one
week — the top debut week for digital sales ever by far.

After an
extended career break, the singer has come a long way from a
past of sadness and breakups, but despite her incredible
success, she's still not allowed to post from her own Twitter
account.

According to
Mashable, in a BBC special with Graham Norton that's just
been recorded, Adele admitted that she has to get her tweets
reviewed by her management before they are posted. She
admits that's because of her history of shooting off
drunk thoughts on Twitter.

"Rumor has it, you're not allowed access to your own
Twitter account," someone in the audience said.

"That is true, yeah. I'm not a drinker any more, but when
Twitter first came out I was drunk tweeting and nearly put my
foot in it quite a few times," Adele said. "So my management
decided that you have to go through two people and then it has to
be signed off by someone. But they're all my tweets. No one
writes my tweets. They just post them for me. So yeah,
that's very, very true."

Adele has a massive Twitter presence of
23.8 million followers, so what she puts out there doesn't go
without notice. She's used the platform for big
declarations like a letter
to her fans last month explaining her absence from the music
scene and the first announcement for
her upcoming album "25."

The
Adele BBC special will air November 20, the same day
"25" is out around the world.
